Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
The sun was scorching, the sky was blue, and the sound of Kerbert hitting the tennis ball caused shallow ripples on the court. All the spectators were temporarily quiet, holding back their surging emotions, waiting for the start of the game.
It was Kerbert who took the lead in serving.
Kerbert, who was continuously hitting the ball to find rhythm, raised his eyes and glanced across the court to observe the opponent's position. This should be the first time since his debut that he looked directly at Gawain.
To be honest, even now, there is still a simmering fire in Kerbert's chest that cannot be vented.
Then you should vent your anger toward the guy opposite.
Kerbert somewhat sympathized with the opponent. The poor guy was pushed out by the coach to be cannon fodder, but he would never be merciful. He had to teach his opponent a lesson and let him know what a cruel circle competitive sports is and the absolute gap in strength. It is a gap that cannot be bridged.
Not only will he win, but he will also teach the opponent a lesson with a complete victory. Kerbert has such confidence.
Then Kerbert served.
Bend your knees, throw the ball, turn, swing your arms, and serve.
Perfect!
ACE ball!
Kerbert's height is very rare in tennis. Shouldn't a big man over two meters play basketball? Standing on the tennis court, his height advantage gives him an innate advantage in the angle of incidence of his serve, and he can easily gain more downward force to complete the serve.
Speed 190 kilometers per hour!
The speed and power of the first ACE ball were indeed outstanding, leaving Gao Wen with no chance to return the ball.
"Roar!"
Kerbert clenched his fists and roared at Gawain. Although the game had just begun, he seemed to have unlimited energy waiting to be vented. Even if it was just an ACE, he celebrated passionately and expressed his gratitude to Gao Wen with practical actions. Wen showed his fists with a condescending look in his eyes.
Gawain was not surprised.
When shaking hands before the game, Kerbert did not hide his hostility. The height difference made Kerbert's contemptuous eyes fall unreservedly on Gawain's eyes. He was not even willing to shake hands with Gawain in a friendly way, but was just polite. He patted her sexily, exuding a kind of aloof pride all over his body.
Like a lion, no one can challenge his dignity. He shines with a unique aura of genius. Only being number one in the world is his goal.
Gawain thought this was very interesting. It would be interesting to let those geniuses lower their arrogant heads and then throw their dignity and pride to the ground.
If Kerbert thinks that one ACE can shock him, then he is too naive. Forget about one, even a shower of ACEs is not enough. In Gawain's view, facing such a serve, just face it calmly, Because the opponent did a great job in serving, there is no need to be frustrated, forget about this point, and then face the next point.
However, this does not mean to sit back and do nothing.
When facing a player who serves well, it is very important to disrupt the opponent's serving rhythm and inertia. Otherwise, if the opponent's serve is allowed to remain at its best, it will be difficult to find opportunities to reverse the situation throughout the game - times Waiting for the tiebreaker every time to try your luck is not an option.
Therefore, the receiving side also has a lot of work to do.
If you are a professional player, those serving masters have experienced many battles, and their serving state will definitely be more sustainable. The receiving side will also face more pressure. It is not easy to break their state and inertia.
But for young players in the NCAA, the state fluctuations are obviously much more severe, and the fluctuations caused by off-court interference are also much easier. The receiving side can often break the situation through its own efforts.
Of course, the premise is that the party receiving the hair has the idea and ability.
Facing the second serve, Gao Wen slightly adjusted his position and moved the receiving position further back.
In the last game against Libitis, I talked about the tactic of rushing to receive the serve, and the corresponding tactic is to use the tactic of conservative return of the serve. The specific operation is to push the position back, more than two meters away from the baseline, Even more than three meters, giving yourself more time to react, extending the flight time of the tennis ball in the air from the physical space level, and the success rate of receiving the serve will naturally increase.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. On the one hand, the upward curve after the tennis ball hits the ground will be higher, which means that players may need to find the hitting point above the shoulders, which is very awkward; on the other hand, the next beat after the return is completed, With a larger coverage area and longer running distance, it is easy to fall into a passive situation of continuous defense.
Such a tactic also has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The tactic of retreating three meters from the baseline to receive the serve is really popularized by Rafael Nadal, one of the Big Four. Especially on clay courts, he may even retreat to the baseline linesman to receive the ball, regardless of As for the quality of the return, it is always necessary to catch the opponent's strong serve on the court first. Only in this way can the round be continued.
Now, Gawain is trying such a tactic.
However, Gao Wen did not retreat too far back, but was only about two meters away from the baseline. He tested to see how effective this reception of serve was, and continued to make local adjustments according to the game conditions.
Kneel, stoop, rock.
When receiving the serve, keeping the body swinging from side to side is mainly to keep the body's center of gravity flexible and able to jump out at any time; it is also to interfere with the opponent's judgment and cover up one's prediction of the direction of the serve in advance.
Occasionally, you need to stand on tiptoes, as if stepping on a spring, to maintain the elasticity of the soles of your feet. This also ensures a fast reaction speed.
Therefore, you must not be lazy when it comes to keeping your center of gravity active.
Tiptoe. Tiptoe. Tiptoe.
Gao Wen's body was very light, stepping on the spring following Kerbert's batting action, and then captured the details of Kerbert's serving action.
Kick!
Predict accurately and move in advance!
boom!
Kerbert served, and he also hit the ball with great force. He poured all his strength into the tennis ball, and he could even see the tennis ball changing its shape.
But this time, Gao Wen successfully touched the tennis ball in the forehand position without forming an ACE.
However, Kerbert's serving power was very solid. Gawain's wrist could clearly feel the excitement and vibration from the powerful force. The control effect of the racket failed to meet expectations, and the return ball flew directly out of the opposite baseline and out of bounds.
"30:0".
"Roar!"
Kerbert's lion's roar came again from the other side of the court, and he continued to wave his right fist, hammering his chest like a diamond. The veins on his arms popped out, truly showing his power to Gawain. The contempt and disdain in his eyes shined brightly in the sunlight.
"Ahhh!"
"Oh oh oh!"
At the scene, the Eagles fans were also in a state of excitement. They had quickly entered the state from the opening stage. The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air began to burn early. Inadvertently, you could smell a burst of blood, as if a group of sharks surrounded Gawain. He looked like a man, showing his white teeth.
